I have been trying to create and bootstrap a VM from my chefworkstation using
knife-vsphere plugin.

I am able to clone a VM from a template in vsphere environment using the
following command.
knife vsphere vm clone vmname --template templatename --cspec customspecname

But I need to know if the above command creates and bootstraps(install
chef-client on it) a chef node which I believe is not the case. If not how to
bootstrap the vm node using the same command from my worstation. I see a lot of
option to be used in the command in
"https://github.com/ezrapagel/knife-vsphere/blob/master/README.rdoc" but I
need the most basic ones required to bootstrap and register my vm with the chef
server.
any help would be great.
